about

Nick Jacinto Steur (1982 – the Netherlands)

Through his performance installations he communicates. The works change on every new location, because “a location also communicates.” Nick Steur graduated at the Theatre Academy in Maastricht (NL) as theatrical performer. Though many think of him primarily as a visual artist, he is keen on the live aspect of performance: “I think it’s important that spectators become aware of the present, and their own presence in it.” Rather than grand gestures, his actions are very functional; connecting a cable, moving an object or cut a rock. This approach succeeds in communicating subtle changes in time and space, and perhaps people.
